Introducción: Ae. aegypti y Ae. albopictus son los vectores responsables de la transmisión de arbovirus en América Central y América del Sur.  Objetivo: ERevisar los principales aspectos acerca de los vectores de arbovirus (Dengue, Chikungunya, y Zika), su llegada al continente, y los métodos de control de los dos vectores.  Metodología: Se realizó una revisión de bibliografía utilizando los términos: vector, arbovirus, central america, south america. Resultados: 21 estudios fueron revisados.  Existen diferencias importantes entre las dos especies de mosquitos con relación a los tres arbovirus de mayor impacto en la salud pública de la región: Dengue, Chikungunya, y Zika.  Dengue se transmite en las Américas desde hace 35 años a través de Ae. aegypti. En cambio,  Ae. albopictus llegó recién a Brasil en 1986 y América Central en 1988 por medio de mercancías, específicamente con el transporte de neumáticos usados.  Ha habido un éxito limitado en el control de la transmisión de los arbovirus por parte de los dos vectores con la introducción de la bacteria Wolbachia Conclusiones: Se requieren más estudios para profundizar la relación entre vectores y los arbovirus para mejorar estrategias de control de transmisión de estas enfermedades cuyo impacto en la salud pública sigue creciendo.

Haemagogus (Haemagogus) is restricted mostly to the Neotropical Region, including Central America, South America and islands (Arnell, 1973). Of the 24 recognized species of this subgenus, 15 occur in South America, including the Antilles. However, the centre of distribution of the genus Haemagogus is Central America, where 19 of the 28 species (including four species of the subgenus Conopostegus Zavortink [1972]) occur (Arnell, 1973).

The conclusion summarizes the findings of the book. It uses a comparative approach to underline more explicitly how each case has contributed to our understanding. It then moves on to consider what the findings might tell us about other regions of the world. It specifically considers Central America, parts of South America, south Asia, and Africa.

As widely known, the neotropical region is represented by Central America, south of Mexico, Baja California Peninsula, northwestern of Mexico, Caribbean Islands, south of Florida and South America. On the basis of the outstanding and peculiar biodiversity of the region, a great number of helminthological studies related to the parasites occurring in animals present in the different environments of the area, has been accounted.

The family Zoridae (F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893) is currently represented by 14 genera and 79 species distributed worldwide (Platnick, 2012), of which only the genera Xenoctenus Mello-Leitão, 1938 and Odo Keyserling, 1887 are present in Americas. Xenoctenus is represented by four species, all endemic to Argentina, while Odo has, so far, a total of 27 species distributed in Central America, South America, West Indies and Australia (Platnick, 2012). The type species of Odo is O. lenis Keyserling, 1887, a specimen female described from Nicaragua. The genus Odo has never been revised and given its wide distribution and number of species, it is probably a polyphyletic genus and a complete revision is required. Also, no new material of O. lenis or O. patricius has been described since 1900.
